I love the 80's Tarot Deck
by Kai
Theme: 1980s pop culture and nostalgia
A hand-designed tarot deck by artist Kai, themed around 1980s pop culture, including references to pop stars, fashion, and nostalgic memories. It aims to evoke the vibrant and "totally happen'en" spirit of the decade.
About This Deck
The "I Love the 80's Tarot Deck" is a 78-card tarot deck designed by Kai, aiming to transport users back to the 1980s through its imagery and themes. The deck is described as being filled with "favorite 80's pop stars, colorful clutch gear, and rockin' memories," suggesting a vibrant and pop-culture-heavy aesthetic. It was created to evoke a sense of nostalgia, encouraging users to reconnect with the "totally happen'en" part of themselves from that era.
The deck was offered in two main versions during its Kickstarter campaign: a standard shrink-wrapped deck with a velvet bag and a digital guidebook, and a collector's edition featuring holographic printing, a colorful printed rigid box, and a physical 80-page guidebook. This tiered offering indicates an emphasis on both accessibility and a premium collector's experience, catering to different levels of interest in the theme and production quality.
While specific card imagery is not detailed, the overall concept suggests a lighthearted and fun approach to tarot, likely adapting traditional Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism into an 80s context. The inclusion of a tarot meaning guidebook, whether digital or printed, ensures that the deck is functional for readings, making it suitable for both nostalgic collectors and those looking for a unique, themed reading tool.
